Strong possibility.
Sitting on the couch with Lily. She got excited by some noise outside, twitched, and kicked me in the broke arm. Swear words were uttered.

I utter swear words at my Mac whenever the spinning wheel of death goes on too long. I swear a lot. It annoys Stacy but amuses Yuki. He always comes up to me after I swear wagging his tail as if to say ‘who we barkn at?’ But if I was in your condition and he kicked me, I would likely break something, punch a hole in the wall or smash the remote on the floor, then have instant regret.
My nose is so raw - feels like I’ve been snorting comet. And my eyes feel like they’ve been in a microwave for 30 mins on high. Allergies suck.
But it’s no comparison to major surgery then getting kicked in the wound by my own dog. Sucks more to be you, Greg. You win. Bon touché, Mon Ami. I’ll just sniffle, scratch and snort in defeat.

I'm down to one Percocet which I take in the middle of the night to help me sleep. Still sleeping upright on the couch because lying on my side or on my back in the bed puts a weird strain on my shoulder. And by sleep I mean maybe an hour or two a night. Not a lot of pain. Mostly discomfort. Starting to hear the horror stories from friends about frozen shoulders and the pain of rehab.
I see the doc for my follow up on Tuesday. Dentist visit Monday.

Did I mention I bought hands free sneakers? They seem to be all the rage. Although didn't they just used to be called loafers?
When do we get the hands free socks? It's like putting on a condom one handed

Were they those Skechers I always see commercials for during the news? The ones you just step into? Advertised between commercials for medicines and walk-in tubs.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 03-13-2025
They are actually Kizik brand. I try not to buy Sketchers. They always come off as cheap and poorly made.

Wasn't Martha shilling those Sketchers during the Super Bowl

When LB was a shoe salesman, he told me how bad it was when they discontinued Velcro shoes. He had a lot of disabled customers who relied on them. I think it added to LB’s trauma when he couldn’t offer them an alternative.
RE: one handed condoms - here, put this in your mouth.

The packet of all the things I was supposed to use before my surgery just arrived from Kaiser. It included a bottle of ensure and some wipes to kill the bacteria on my shoulder
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 03-14-2025
Talked to Scapino. He seemed to have forgotten I had surgery and was checking up on me. He had shoulder surgery as well but on his dominant arm. They had to open his shoulder up to get at the problem. His rehab was very bad. He continues to have effects from his heart attack which are worrisome. But not as bad as his neighbor who suffered a heart attack at almost the same time as him. The neighbor has had two strokes and is younger than Scapino.
Getting old isn't for the weak.
RE: I'm more broken than you - King Bob - 03-14-2025
Thanks to both of you for making me feel like I'm doing pretty well.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 03-14-2025
Anything to help.
RE: I'm more broken than you - King Bob - 03-14-2025
How's the shoulder mobility? Or are you up to the rehab stage yet?
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 03-14-2025
Still in the sling stage. No shoulder movement until I speak with the doc on Tuesday. I'm supposed to be in the sling for six weeks. Then I start rehab.
